We’re Up and Running

Well after much planning and organizing with Joe K9ATG, we finally got this website up and running this week. Yes, it’s looking a bit bare at the moment, but that will change.

If you’ve stumbled across this post from a Google search and you are not familiar with who or what ‘Field Radio’ is, here is a brief background. Field Radio commenced in early 2015 as a Facebook group and can be accessed here on Facebook. The group has grown rapidly into an engaging community of ham radio enthusiasts who are fans of portable operation. If you are into operating portable in any way then you will find this group of interest.

Our members are into many avenues of portable operation and we’ve seen many examples including the following :-

SOTA (summit of the air) operating

Camping out in your tent or camper trailer

Loading your rig and antenna on to your bicycle and riding to a location

Backpacking to locations

So please feel free to join our group if any of this side of the amateur radio hobby is of interest to you. We’ve got plenty in the pipeline including:-

Interesting articles written by skilled field operators

A photo gallery for YOUR photos and comments

Group news, including suggested HF frequencies, future events, etc.

A showcase of videos created by our group members

Useful files to download

This looks wery interesting, is it mentioned to be links on some of the ponts over here? I am working some WWFF activities some times and also backpacking, lazy backpacker 😉 Always qrp, to lazy to carry car batteries.

Thanks Jenny. To answer your question, we hope to soon include a function to promote and document your radio events.

Adding outside links may not be favorable due to the URLs changing overtime or becoming “dead”. However we do hope to soon allow members to submit articles about their experiences in the field directly to this website.
